Object visualisation and our hidden creativity

The case

A sculpture with no plinth

“Management is by all means to realize a vision of humanity.” Outside the Casino in Estoril, Portugal, passersby paused to admire a marble sculpture, placed directly on street level. Everyone seemed to recognise something familiar in it, something that resonated uniquely within them.

Not a sea. Something made — which is what hidden creativity produces once it is let out. Object visualisation awakens a familiar reality by first observing, then entering what we see in our imagination, and later reflecting on the deeper purple values and truths it reveals.

Secret 13: “What the body is full of, leaks out.”

A large white marble sculpture standing on a paved traffic island — rounded, faceless forms leaning together over a hollowed centre, one block split by a crack that runs down into its base, with pines and parked cars behind it.

Openness — Security — Love

The three core values one visitor found in this sculpture — his own answer to “what does this remind me of, and why does it move me so profoundly?” Your way to hidden potential starts with the same question.
